		The Kaweka Range (also known as the Kaweka Ranges) of Mountains is located in inland Hawke's Bay in the eastern North Island of New Zealand.
		The range lies between the city of Napier, 55 kilometres to the southeast, and Lake Taupo, 50 kilometres to the northwest.
		The Tutaekuri is fed by rainwater from the Kaweka Ranges.

	Plan and prepare: Kaweka Forest Park hunting
		The Kaweka Forest Park, and the neighbouring Puketitiri Reserves, are managed by DOC.
		Visitors should be prepared for sudden weather changes, cloud whiteouts and high winds on the ranges and rapidly rising water levels in rivers and streams.
		The Puketitiri area is in the rain shadow of the Kaweka Ranges.

		To the east the Black Birch Range and Don Juan Peak rise to over 1000m and 900m respectively while to the south the Mackintosh and Blowhard Plateaux lie between 600m and 900m above sea level.
		North-west of the main range is the rolling country of an old dissected peneplain which drains north-east into the Mohaka River and south-west into the Ngaruroro River.
		The north-western boundary of the park is the Oamaru River, which is a major tributary of the Mohaka River and forms the common boundary with Kaimanawa Forest Park to the west.

	Delegats Wine Estate: Hawke's Bay Vineyards
		With the exception of the flat Heretaunga Plains, the majority of the Hawke's Bay is rolling countryside, ascending inland to over 1600 metres to the Ruahine & Kaweka Ranges.
		The Ranges are a significant influence in Hawke's Bay, not only providing shelter from the prevailing Westerly winds but importantly providing a myriad of soils across the region.
		The 'building' and subsequent erosion of the Ruahine Ranges and Kaweka Ranges has been carried over the centuries by meandering rivers and streams, namely the Tukituki, Ngaruroro, & Tutaekuri rivers, to the flat land below.

		The Tutaekuri is fed by rainwater from the Kaweka Ranges.
		The river is fed from rainfall in the high ranges and provides water for farms and orchards from Central Hawke's Bay to the eastern corner of the Heretaunga Plains.
		Its source is in the Ruahine Ranges and it runs north of and parallel to the Tukituki River.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- North Island temperate forests (AA0405)
		The Tararua, Ruahine, Kaimanawa and Kaweka Ranges are the only ones with significant alpine zones and tussock grasslands and these areas are usually coated in snow each winter.
		Many forests on the axial ranges and the central plateau were managed as ‘multiple use’ forest parks, and logging of indigenous timber was permitted.
		Possums have caused the widespread death of kamahi and rata in lowland forests and the death of kaikawaka (Libocedrus bidwillii) and Hall’s totara (Podocarpus hallii) in the southern ranges (Department of Conservation 1997).

	Hastings District Council - Land Use - New Zealand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Hastings District is bordered in the east by the Pacific Ocean, to the north by the Ruahine ranges and to the west by the Kaweka ranges.
		Moving down from the ranges and hill country towards the sea, the district flattens out to become the plains zone, which contains some of the most fertile soils in New Zealand.
		With the ranges also acting as a catchment for rainfall, the district has many river systems flowing through the plains to the sea.

		The Ranges are a significant influence in Hawke's Bay, not only providing shelter from the prevailing Westerly winds but importantly providing a myriad of soils across the region.
		In the process the erosion was abraded, creating a patchwork of soils across the region, consisting of rounded gravel, sand, silt, and clay.

	Kaweka Forest Park - Department of Conservation Maps - Walking-Hiking
		The Kaweka Forest Park has extensive tracts of untamed ‘tiger country’ which will test your wilderness and bush craft skills, but reward you with some of the best tramping, hunting and fishing in the country.
		The main Kaweka Range rises to 1,724 metres and the Black Birch and Don Juan ranges in the east are around 1,000 metres.
		The headwaters of the Ngaruroro River and the main Kaweka Range have broad open tussock grasslands ideal as tramping viewpoints and for deer stalking.

	GEOLOGY – LAND DISTRICTS OF NEW ZEALAND - Wellington Land District - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		The Wellington Fault continues through the Tararua Range, where its course is marked by scarps, saddles, and valleys, and it forms the eastern boundary of the range from the Mangatainoka River north to the Manawatu Gorge and beyond.
		During the Pleistocene glacial episodes, much of the Wellington Land District, especially the ranges and the Wellington Peninsula, was subjected to a frost climate with freeze and thaw as active erosion agents.
		With the gradual uplift of the ranges throughout the Pleistocene, and the permanent exclusion of the sea, the Manawatu River was forced to cut a deep gorge across the rising country in order to maintain its course.

		The mountains and hills are drained by a myriad of streams and rivers that merge to form the Mohaka, the Tutaekuri, the Ngaruroro and the Tuki Tuki Rivers, providing water to the region's industry and population as well as some of New Zealand’s very best trout fishing.
		The region's large number of outstanding wineries, winery restaurants and specialist food producers has encouraged the development of the “Wine Country Food Trail”, with many wineries and winery restaurants open to the public, and proving to be a major attraction and experience in their own right.
		The Ruahine mountain ranges are a dominating feature on the long western boundary of the District, and the eastern boundary is the largely unspoiled Pacific coastline.

	NATUREANDCO.COM - Mountains of New Zealand
		Thus a continuous chain of mountains forms the axial part of the South Island, extending over 750 km (500 miles) from the Kaikoura Ranges, through the length of the Southern Alps, to the southernmost corner of Fiordland.
		In the east of the North Island the axial ranges extend in a uninterrupted chain, from Wellington and the Rimutaka Ranges in the south to the Tararua, Ruahine, Kaimanawa-Kaweka, and Raukumara Ranges in the north.
		While located outside the axial area, the other major mountain ranges of New Zealand also originate in the same plate tectonic process: they are the Central Otago ranges, Paparoa, Victoria, North-west and East Nelson in the South Island, and the two large volcanic centres of Mt Egmont, and Ruapehu-Tongariro in the North Island.

	Hawke's Bay The Land -- Stonecroft Traditional Wines from Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
		Fine wines which are a fusion of transported European culture, innovative technology, and an affinity with the soil which has produced a unique wine-growing culture attuned to the exciting flavours of a new land.
		Hawke's Bay is a large region, larger in European terms than Bordeaux, 180 kilometres from north to south, and roughly 70 kilometres deep, its inland high points being the Ruahine and Kaweka Ranges which form the mountain backbone of the North Island of New Zealand.
		This situation is accentuated by the range of soils, which may have alluvial, marine, or volcanic sources, and can range from fine silts and clays to deep river gravels, or may be rich in limestone.

	Welcome to Forest and Bird (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The results of a deer-control trial in the Kaweka Ranges of Hawkes Bay show the efforts of recreational deer hunters are insufficient to control deer numbers.
		Higher altitude beech forests between 1000 and 1500 metres in the Kaweka Forest Park are failing to regenerate.
		Sika deer have replaced most of the red deer in the Kaweka Ranges as they can survive even in the degraded environment caused by heavy deer browsing.

		This year, I was shown one trophy that was 16 points and 46 inches long taken from the wild.Guides generally hunt safari parks or protected herds on private land.
		It is usual to find visiting hunters free range wild trophies of 10 and 12 points plus but with few guarantees of success.
		Their range is an area known as Fiordland, an isolated area of steep mountains and incessant rain, hordes of sandflies and dripping mosses hang from the bush.

	Ruahine @ Leatherwood Lenz - New Zealand wilderness photography
		The Ruahine Ranges and surrounded by farmland and roads, so are very easily accessible.
		Rugged alpine crags with snow and ice worthy of the Southern Alps, sweeping tussock basins, dense forests, and wide open gravel river beds are all features of the Ruahines.
		Although frequently bypassed for more the more popular Tararuas, Kawekas, and Tongariro, the Ruahines remain a firm favourite of many who seek to escape the crowds, and to find good wilderness country not far from the road end.

	Welcome to Forest and Bird (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Sika deer are eating the Kaweka beech forests to death.
		This is a direct consequence of a recreational hunting area being set aside in the Kaweka conservation park in the 1980s and of the Department of Conservation's managing the other half of the park as a de facto hunting area.
		In the Kaweka, DoC will not use foliage poisoned with 1080 as a bait - a highly effective means of deer control - until control efforts through enhanced recreational hunting (a couple of additional helicopter landing sites) and commercial hunting have inevitably failed.

	Inland Patea Route
		The crushing of these plates, which created the Ruahine Ranges, causes much of the area you will traverse to be uplifted at a rate of 4mm per year.
		When she rubbed his failure in with her scolding tongue Patea took her for a walk and during this walk somehow his wife fell over a cliff and died.
		Rather than face Utu from her relatives Patea fled into the vast isolated region in the upper Rangitikei (river)/Kaweka ranges, an area which came to be known as (inland) Patea.

	Scoop: Dog deals blow to Kaweka kiwi population
		A Hawkes Bay kiwi recovery programme is urging hunters to take proper care of their dogs in the bush after an adult female kiwi was killed by dogs in the Kaweka Ranges on Wednesday.
		ECOED Spokesperson Alastair Bramley said the death and the missing kiwi was a setback to the new kiwi recovery programme.
		He said while responsible hunters with dogs are not considered a major problem, if the dogs become separated from their owners and are left to fend for themselves, then kiwi represent an easy meal.

		There he decided “that if he were to endure through the next three months he must have warmth and shelter”, which he made for himself in a cave by the river (140).
		Large tracts of the areas now conserved in the Kaimanawa and Kaweka Forest Parks were grazed by sheep and cattle for the first sixty years of the twentieth century.

	New Zealand Hunting Information, Hunt in NZ Red Deer Chamois Tahr Whitetail Sambar Rusa Sika Fallow Elk
		For those wishing to hunt on public land there are large areas of DOC administered land where sika are found.
		In New Zealand, where the range of sika and red deer overlap, sika have often displaced red deer.
		The main reason is probably the fact that sika are able to utilise a wider range of plant species having a greater ability to digest coarse vegetation.

	Kiwis Saving Kiwi:Hawkes Bay
		Back in 2002, with fewer than 100 to 200 kiwi left in the Kaweka Ranges and with kiwi effectively extinct south of Hawke’s Bay, it was time for action.
		That in Kaweka Forest Park, because the kiwi population was not dense enough, predator control was less economic than gathering eggs, incubating them off-site and then releasing chicks at a stoat-proof age
		So today, ECOED’s kiwi work is focused on three areas – growing a core population of kiwi in Kaweka Forest Park, a $680,000 crèche for Bank of New Zealand Save the Kiwi Operation Nest Egg kiwi chicks at Opouahi Scenic Reserve, and exploring a proposal to make the whole of Mahia Peninsula predator-free.
